EVERYTHING FOR CANNERS. 



A HISTOEY. 



By E. D. FISHER. 



T\J 1 810 a work was written in France by 
J *" M. Appert in regard to the canning of 
hermetically sealed goods and was pub- 
lished by authority of the French govern- 
ment. Successful experiments had been 
made before but we owe to Appert the clear 
exposition of the principles that underlie 
the processes of the art. His experiments 
which were made with fish, meats, fruits 
and vegetables, were of a most elaborate 
character. He used glass exclusively, as 
a metal package at that time apparently 
had not been thought of. Appert's expe- 
riments covered a period of ten years, 
and so exact and clear were his methods that he 
may well be called the father of the canned 
goods industry. 

Thomas Kensett was undoubtedly the first 
to pack hermetically sealed goods in the United 
States, as he was packing canned goods in New 




York City as early as 1819. Messrs. T. H. and 
J. Kensett, of Baltimore, Md., have in their pos- 
session an oyster label used by him bearing date 
1822. 

In 1825 Thomas Kensett and Ezra Daggett 
obtained a patent from the United States Gov- 
ernment on an improvement in the art of pre- 
serving. This patent bears the autograph sig- 
nature of the then President of the United States, 
James Monroe; of the Secretary of State, John 
Quincy Adams, and the Attorney- General, Wil- 
liam Wirt. 

In 1832, Philip Jones, a native of Massa- 
chusetts, is mentioned as having put up fruit by 
a particular process. It is not known just what 
this process was, but it is believed to have been 
the same as that employed by Appert. 

We learn of the catching and preserving of fish 
in 1835, and, although we do not find by what 
process they were preserved, we believe it was by

the use of brine, as at present. At various per- 
iods up to 1840, the art of preserving in hermet- 
ically sealed packages is mentioned, but it was 
far from being general, being known to only a 

few. Tr 

In that year, 1840, the old house of Kemp, 
Day & Co , now at 116 Wall Street, New York 
City was established. From 1840 to 1850 much 
progress was made in the art. During that per- 
iod many embarked in the business. In 1847 
Harrison W. Crosby, of Jamesburg, N. J., com- 
menced packing tomatoes, called by Appert, 
"love-apples." In the year 1848 Mr. Crosby 
sent a box containing six cans of tomatoes to 
Queen Victoria and to the President of the United 
States, both of whom acknowledged their 

receipt. 

William Underwood, founder ot the house of 
Underwood & Co., Boston, Mass., was also en- 
gaged in packing tomatoes at this time. As 
early as 1835 he imported tomato seed in order 
to grow tomatoes for catsup. Isaac Winslow, 
of Portland, Me., is supposed to have been the 
first to pack sugar corn in hermetically sealed 
cans for sale. His first experiments were made 
in about the year 1842, and in 1 863 he obtained 
letters patent of the United States for his inven- 
tion. He was the uncle of the well-known John 
Winslow Jones, who will be remembered from the 
celebrated Jones-McMurray suit, when Mr. Jones 
sued Louis McMurray of Maryland in 1874, for 
an infringement of the Winslow patents referred 
to. Mr. McMurray established and operated at 
Whitney Glass Works. Bottles for C

the largest corn canning factory in the world. 
Its present capacity is 250,000 cans per day. 

The years following 1850 witnessed a very ra- 
pid increase in the business, and the trade showed 
a healthy development. Maryland soon came 
to the front as the recognized leader and centre 
of this growing industry, with Maine, New York 
and New Jersey following. 

At the present time the canning 'industry has 
grown to immense proportions, numbering 
about 2,000 factories in operation scattered 
over this broad domain from New Foundland to 
California and from Florida to Alaska. These 
factories give employment to 1,000,000 persons 
during the canning season; they use the raw 
material, fruits, vegetables, etc., produced on 
1 500 000 acres of land, thus furnishing a home 
market for the products of 30,000 farms, giving 
employment to a vast number of farm laborers, 
and bringing in to the farmers $20,000,000 an- 
nually for their produce. They transform this 
raw material into 600,000,000 cans of food worth 

* #25,000,000 in first hands. 

Our salmon and other fish canning industries 
employ 3,000 vessels and 48,000 fishermen, while 
those directly and indirectly interested amount 
to nearly 300,000. The yearly output of fish 
aloneis 100.000,000 cans valued at $15,000,000. 
The factories engaged in canning fish are located 
principally on the rivers and inlets of California, 
Oregon, Washington, Alaska, and British Col- 
umbia. Then comes Maine, New Brunswick and

Nova Scotia, with their pack of mackerel, lob- 
sters, and herring sardines. 

But few fish are packed outside of these places 
except on the gulf coast of Florida, Alabama 
and Mississippi, where this important industry 
is just springing up and rapidly developing, 
i The oyster canning industry which has al- 
ready attained gigantic proportions, is still 
growing. There are engaged in it, 2,000 vessels 
employing 20,000 hands, while the whole num- 
ber of persons directly and indirectly concerned 
will reach nearly 250,000. The annual output 
of oysters is 75,000,000 cans valued at $8,000,- 

ooo' 

Then comes the immense and still growing 
meat industry, the center of which is Chicago . 
Beef, mutton, poultry, tongue, etc., are packed 
and shipped to almost every part of the globe. 
The output of this class of goods in 1889 was 
worth $22,000,000. 

When we take into consideration the number 
of minor products that find their way to mar- 
kets in hermetically sealed packages and add to 
them the above products, we are able to form 
some idea of the magnitude of the business. 

It is estimated that 350 varieties of fruits, 
vegetables, fish and meats are packed during a 
single season. Neither is the business confined 
to the more wealthy or thickly settled parts of 
the country. Those portions which were but a 
few years ago considered frontier territories, are 
adding their quota to the business. Texas, Kan- 
sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Dakota and Utah are 



coming forward as large producers of canned 
goods, and those, too, of a high grade. 

Change of methods have also kept pace with 
the growth of the business. While first princi- 
ples have remained the same, the minutia of the 
business — the laborious processes — have wonder- 
fully changed. As an instance, corn was formerly 
cut from the cob by hand, and filled into the can 
with a small quantity of liquor. After this the 
can was closed with a straight (or tinner's) 
copper and given a bath of forty or fifty minutes 
in boiling water. It was then opened by prick- 
ing the can and allowing the heated air and va- 
por to escape; then closed and subjected to a 
bath in boiling water for six hours. This method 
has given place to the continuous cutters which 
takes a stream of ears of corn, faster than one 
can follow with the eye. The cut corn is taken 
by carriers to the automatic hot fillers, which 
takes the cans from the shute, fills with syrup 
and corn and delivers to the power cappers. 
After this a bath of one hour in an iron retort 
completes the process. The former bath was a 
pan set over an arch; the latter a large strong 
cylinder like a steam boiler. By the former 
method one or two acres of corn were considered 
a large pack. Now a factory thinks 1,000 or 
even 2,000 acres in a single season, nothing very 
remarkable. 

The pea huller is another result of the invent- 
ive genius that has come to the aid of the packer. 
In one factory during the past season 1,700 
bushels of peas (pods) were shelled by a single

EVERYTHING FOR CANNERS. 



machine of this kind in fourteen hours' work. 
We scarcely cease wondering at this before an- 
other machine called a " viner," advances a step 
further and takes the peas from the vine, picks 
and shells at the same operation. By the aid of 
this machine a factory easily handles 1,000 to 
2,000 acres of peas, while 50 to 100 were all that 
could be safely undertaken by the old method. 

Perhaps greater advances have been made in 
the mode of manufacturing cans. In the early 
stages of the business the operations were all 
performed "by hand" and were of necessity 
very slow and expensive. 

Now one piece of machinery cuts a whole sheet 
of tin into the ends for the cans; revolving shears 
cut another sheet into the parts used for the 
sides of the cans called "bodies." Another takes 
the bodies, forms and locks, and passes them 
through the solder. A single operation of a 
most complicated and ingenious machine puts 
on both ends and delivers it for the final solder- 
ing, when the cans are rolled into cars for ship- 
ment, tested aud counted at the rate of 100,000 
to 250,000 cans per day. 



Many important industries have grown out of 
the needs of the canners. Machinery is required, 
and many new and ingenious devices have been 
brought out to meet the demand. Cans, cases 
and labels have been required in almost endless 
quantities. The carrying trade has been taxed 
to transport both supplies and finished goods. 
Only a short time ago a solid train composed of 
twenty -four cars of canned corn was shipped by 
the Hoopestown, (111.) Canning Co., to San 
Francisco. About the same time one of fourteen 
cars of canned gallon apples was sent by the 
Erie Co. from Buffalo, N. Y. to Pittsburg, Pa. 

The future of the business? 

Everything points to a large increase in the 
number of factories and volume of business. The 
business, we believe, has passed safely through 
the critical period that always comes to a new 
industry, and has settled on a firm basis. The 
demand for this class of goods has fully kept 
pace with the growth of the business. We expect 
the decade upon which we have just entered will 
see a greater advance in business and methods 
than has ever before been known.

FRUIT EVAPORATING INDUSTRY. 



By MICHAEL DOYLE. 



Up OCHESTER (N. Y.,) is the recognized center 
of the evaporated and dried fruit in- 
dustry of the United States, which during 
recent years has assumed very large proportions, 
the goods being shipped in large quantities to 
all the leading markets of the world. No finer 
fruit is produced on this Continent than is grown 
in the territory embraced under the name of 
Western New York, comprising some twelve of 
the most fertile and richest counties of the Em- 
pire State. The cultivation of fruit, especially 
apples, has superseded all other agricultural 
products, and has proved more remunerative to 
the grower than any other product. The 
orchards of the farming community are the chief 
sources of their wealth, and the industry is prose- 
cuted with unabated vigor, largely aided by the 
experience, skill and resources of the great nur- 
series of Rochester, famed throughout the world. 
Whether due to this proximity, to the favorable 
climate and soil, or to the superior and skillful 
cultivation of the orchardists, one thing is cer- 
tain — that the apples of Western New York are 
sought with avidity and bring relatively higher 
prices than those grown elsewhere. The success 



and magnitude of the evaporating industry is 
due largely to the fine quality of the fruit, easily 
and cheaply procurable in abundant quantities, 
and also to the enterprise of the producers in 
adapting new and improved evaporators and 
machinery in place of the crude processes in 
vogue years ago, producing thereby a quality of 
fruit fully as good as though it were in the fresh 
or matured state. Thousands of tons of apples 
are thus prepared every season from a grade of 
fruit heretofore wasted and allowed to rot on the 
ground, and which now forms a source of revenue 
to the grower. It is in the utilization of these 
waste products that the desiccation of fruit be- 
comes a valuable and indispensable adjunct to 
every fruit grower, and the business may be con- 
sidered as yet in its infancy. 

Within a radius of forty miles of Rochester 
there are more than fifteen hundred evaporators, 
ranging in capacity from the small farm-house 
dryer of twenty-five bushels per day to the large 
steam evaporators drying 800 to 1,000 bushels 
of apples each twenty-four hours. These evapo- 
rators give employment during the autumn and 
early winter months to at least 30,000 hands,

who average from f 5 to $12 a week, according 
to experience and usefulness. New factories are 
erected every season, proving that the business 
is profitable when properly and economically 
conducted. Constant care and scrupulous clean- 
liness are the first elements of success in evapo- 
rating good fruit. The production during the 
past season (1888) may well be considered the 
largest since the inception of the business some 
fifteen years ago. A careful estimate places the 
total quantity at about 30,000,000 pounds, 
worth at first cost some $2,000,000. To pro- 
duce this quantity of evaporated apples it re- 
quired 5,000,000 bushels of apples, 15,000 tons 
of anthracite coal, and the constant attendance 
night and day of an army of men, women and 
children, numbering from 25,000 to 30,000. The 
water eliminated in the process of evaporation 
amounted to 225,000 tons, reducing the fruit to 
about one-eighth of its original weight in the 
green state, each one hundred pounds yielding, 
when properly evaporated, twelve pounds on an 
average. The fruit is usually packed in cases of 
two cubic feet measurement, holding fifty pounds 
net, or the product of say eight and a half bushels 
of green apples, and in this concentrated com- 
pressed form is shipped all over the world. The 
advantages in freight alone will be apparent from 
a comparison of the cost of shipping one case to

rates will cost a little less than thirty cents,

canned state almost $2.10, without considering 
the deterioration of the green fruit and the 
dangers of fermentation to the canned article,

ported without any danger of deterioration or 
decay. The refuse of the apples, such as the par- 
ings and cores, are dried, and form the base of 
all the cheap jellies manufactured at present. 
The quantity thus produced last season will 
aggregate some 12,000,000 pounds, so that not 
a particle of the fruit is wasted . 

The principal consuming countries abroad are 
Germany, England, Belgium, Holland and 
France, in which the new product has entirely 
displaced the old-fashioned sun-dried fruit. There 
were shipped alone to France during 1887, 1 8,- 
000 barrels of a quality known as chopped or 
sliced apples, dried without being either pared or 
cored, and used chiefly for the production of 
cider, cheap wines, and distillation when the 
vineyards of France suffer from the phylloxera. 
Some 4,000,000 pounds were exported during 
the season, of which more than one-half was 
shipped from Rochester. New York State evapo- 
rated fruits have secured a very favorable repu- 
tation and strong foothold abroad, and can be 
had in almost every town or city of importance 
on the European continent. The goods are also 
taken in considerable and increasing quantities 
by the West African and Australasian trade 
every season, and with the popularity and grow- 
ing demand at home, the success of the business 
is more than assured.

DEVELOPMENT OE THE TIN CAN. 



ByR. tynes smith, 

OF THE R. TYNES SMITH CAN CO., DALTIMORE, MD. 



A paper read before the Western Packers Canned Goods Association at Indianapolis, Indiana, 

February, 1890. By permission. 




Y personal knowledge of tin cans dates 
back only to 1857, and I am indebted to 
various sources for information of the 
times previous to that date. Of the persons who 
have assisted me in this way, I must mention 
Mr. Henry Evans, Jr., and Messrs. T. H. and J. 
R.Kensett. Mr. Evans was a practical can -maker 
in 1847 and has contributed largely to them any 
improvements in methods of manufacturing 
since then. The Messrs. Kensett are grandsons 
of the Thomas Kensett, who was undoubtedly 
the first man to pack hermetically sealed goods 
in the United States. The Messrs. Kensett have 
several interesting mementoes of their grand- 
father and his business, among them being one 
of his oyster labels with thedateof packing, viz: 
"February, 1822." This label has directions 
for opening the "case" containing the ousters, 
and the language is such as to clearly indicate 



that this "case" was a, tin can. They also have 
a patent granted to p]zra Daggett and Thomas 
Kensett in 1825 for an improvement in the art 
of preserving, etc. This patent bears the auto- 
graph signatures of the then president of the 
United States, James Monroe; of the secretary of 
state, John Quincy Adams, and the attorney 
general, William Wirt. In the specifications in 
this patent "vessels of tin plate" are mentioned, 
but are not claimed as being novel. Thomas 
Kensett came to the United States from England 
in the early part of the century, the exact date is 
not known, but he was packing canned goods in 
New York as early as 1819, for in that year he 
entered into partnership with his father-in-law, 
Ezra Daggett, with a view 7 of enlarging his 
business. 

We find then Thomas Kensett using tin cans 
for hermetically sealed goods as early as 1819

and certainly laying no claim to them as a new 
article of manufacture, although securing a pat- 
ent for an improvement in the art of preserving. 
I assume from this that Kensett learned the use 
of tin cans where he learned the art of preserving, 
viz: in England, before he emigrated to this 

country. 

Appert, the inventor of the art of preserving 
food by hermetical sealing, did not use tin cans. 
In his description of his processes, written in 1810 
and published by authority of the French govern- 
ment, he says: "I chose glass as being the mat- 
ter most impenetrable by air, and have not ven- 
tured to experiment with a vessel made of any 
other substance." 

Peter Dnrand took out a patent in England in 
1810, which he frankly states is for "an inven- 
tion communicated to me by a foreigner," and 
the phraseology of the description in Durand s 
patent is so nearly identical with Appert s own 
language as to leave no doubt that the latter is 
the foreigner referred to by Durand. But Durand 
ventured a step further than Appert, for in his 
patent he covered "vessels made of glass, pot- 
tery, tin or other metals or fit materials." Here, 
then', we have the first mention of the tin can in 
connection with hermetically sealed food. So 
that while to Appert is due the credit of invent- 
ing an art which, it is not too much to say, has 
proved of incalculable advantage to human 
health and comfort, to Durand is due the credit 
of first using that material for packages, which 
of all others enables the magnificent invention of 



Appert to be most generally availed of. It would 
be quite impracticable to transport glass or pot- 
tery packages to many points to which tin car- 
ries fresh food so desirable, and even necessary, 
for the health and convenience of the people. 
The greater cost of the frailer materials would 
take°this class of food out of reach of a large 
proportion of those who are now able to use tin 
goods freely. Further, it would be impossible 
for our packing houses to produce the quantities 
of goods they now do, the glass and pottery 
requiring so much more care in handling that all 
the processes of manufacture are necessarily much 
slower than with tin cans. We see, then, that 
to the tin can is due no small share of the extra- 
ordinary growth aud spread of this compara- 
tively new industry. 

Just how the first cans were made I have been 
unable to ascertain. Some of the earlier ones 
had tops and bottoms, with edges overlapping 
the ends of the body, but without the anular 
oroove or crease for the solder, as in the more 
modern styles; others had the tops and bottoms 
set into the ends of the bodies, a recess or swage 
being worked into the body for their reception 
Eater on the plumb can (tame into general use, 
at least in this country, while the swaged can 
with inserted ends continued to be used very 
largely in Kngland and France, and indeed is 
stilt used to a considerable extent to the present 
day, particularly in France. One very desirable 
feature of the plumb and swaged cans was that 
the soldering was all on the outside.

II 



In the early days cans were made by regular work for one man, and they required from five to 



tinsmiths and the work all done by hand, the 
bodies laid off on the sheet of tin by pattern, and 
cut out with the stock shears, the blanks for the 
tops and bottoms described by dividers and also 
cut out with the shears, the edges formed on them 
by means of the edging-stake and mallet. The hole 
in the top was punched out with a hollow punch 
by hand, and the cap was made by a large-sized 
hollow punch, and also struck out by hand. The 
California gold fever gave a great impetus to the 
canning business, creating as it did a demand 
for food in concentrated and portable shapes. 
This increased demand stimulated improvements 
in all departments of the business, and we now 
begin to notice a series of efforts to improve on 
the methods of making cans. Can making began 
to be a distinct branch of the tinners' trade. 
Little devices for facilitating the work appeared. 
Neatness in style and increased rapidity of the 
workmen were demanded. The bench burring 
machine took the place of the edging-stake and 
mallet; an apparatus with weights, reels and lme 
was devised to assist the workmen to plumb the 
heads and bottoms on neatly and with greater 
rapidity, and it was astonishing to see how beau- 
tifully a skilled man would, with a sharp pointed 
soldering iron, pile up the solder, little by little, 
into a complete, smooth and rounded ring or 
ridge right on the joint, leaving scarce a mark of 
where the tool had touched. But after all this 
was slow work as compared with later opera- 
tions; 150 of these plumb cans was a good day's 



six pounds of solder to the hundred. The work- 
men received $2.50perhundredformakingthem. 

Mr. Evans tells me that about 1852 he bought 
a quantity of two-pound cans, for which he paid 
$9 per hundred, but as the firm had a contract 
for all the goods they were packing at $7.50 per 
dozen, there was no great hardship in this. This 
price of $7.50 per dozen was uniform for every 
variety of food they should pack in two-pound 
cans, and included oysters, meats, fruits and 
vegetables. At these figures the cost of the cans 
was about one-seventh of the wholesale price of 
the goods. At the average price of two-pound 
goods to-day the cost of the cans is about one- 
fifth, the proportion, however, varying from one- 
eighth to one-third, showingthat, notwithstand- 
ing the great cheapening in the cost of the cans, 
the cost of the canned food to the consumer has 
been cheapened in even greater proportion. Some 
of the older packers would probably say that 
the profits of the packers have been lessened in 
even still greater proportion. 

The years from 1850 to 1860 witnessed quite 
a number of improvements in the methods of 
making cans. In the early part of this period 
Mr. Henry Evans devised the cap crease and cap 
or stud to fit it, a device which remains to-day 
practically without change. Circular shears be- 
gan to be used for cutting out the disks for tops 
and bottoms. For the body squaring shears 
superseded [the pattern, scribe-awl and stock 
shears; but by far the longest stride forward

was in the construction of the can itself. It was 
in 1857 or '58 that I saw the first floated can, 
since so well known to the trade as the hand- 
made can. I remember being in the office of 
Thomas Kensett & Co., when Mr. Evans came in 
with one of these cans and showed it to Mr. Ken- 
sett. After a close examination the latter pro- 
nounced it ad d ugly rough affair and declared 

he would never use them. In twelve months he was 
using no other kind. It is unnecessary for me 
to describe this style of can : every packer is 
familiar with it. But perhaps some description 
of how they were made at first may interest you. 
After the body was rolled upit was fitted around 
a sheet iron cylinder held in the hand. A section 
of a joint of bamboo, split lengthwise, was laid 
along the lap and held in position by the pres- 
sure of the left thumb, the remainder of the hand 
being grasped around the body. The whole was 
then laid firmly against the edge of the bench, 
while the rosin and solder was applied and the 
seam soldered. After the head and bottom were 
floated on (the term, floating, was applied to 
the process of soldering on the tops and bot- 
toms to distinguish this method from the old 
one of plumbing, already described) the ends of 
the side seam at the junctures with the end 
seams would be cut or melted away by the 
action of the soldering iron in floating. This 
was looked upon as the weak point of the can, 
and was remedied by buttoning, that is, a small 
lump of solder was melted on to these weak 
points. Dies and presses for making the heads

and bottoms came into general use with the in- 
troduction of the floated can. The disks of tin 
as they came from the circular shears were put 
into dies and the edges and the creases pressed 
up in them, the cap-hole and crease being made 
by a subsequent operation. The first improve- 
ment made in the method of constructing these 
cans which I remember was the invention of the 
belly-puncher. This was nothing more than the 
original form of the now well known seaming 
block. The sheet iron body cylinder was fitted 
on to a block of wood, the rear end of which, ex- 
tending beyond the cylinder, was bolted to a 
bench; a lever hinged on this rear end of the 
block had a slate knife attached, so arranged as 
to be brought down upon the seam lap, thus 
doing away with the bamboo thumb piece. The 
forward end of the lever was provided with a 
wooden handle, and in operation the workman 
pressed his stomach against the handle and bore 
down a part of his weight upon it to hold the 
lap in position while soldering. This stomach 
feature gave the rig its uncouth name of belly- 
puncher. Those of us who have had a practical 
acquaintance with this instrument of torture have 
no desire to soften its rough appellation. Now 
came improved forms of dies, the compound die 
cutting the disk forming the edge and crease 
on the bottoms at one stroke. Later the com- 
bination die, cutting the disk and forming the 
edge and crease and cutting and creasing the 
cap-hole atone stroke. Treadle presses succeed- 
ed screw presses, and they in turn are being re-

placed bj power presses. The floated can went 
so far in the direction of economy of material 
and workmen became so skillful and rapid in 
making them (many of the rapid workmen can 
turn out 1,000 of these cans per day) that it for 
a long time bid defiance to change and it is 
difficult even now for many to realize that its 
day is passing, but the ingenuity and perseve- 
rance of man knows no such thing as a final 
stopping point forendeavor. We find, therefore, 
that scores and hundreds of devices, more or less 
elaborate, have been invented for making cans 
by machinery. Most of these, indeed there are 
very few exceptions, have proved failures. Among 
the earlier efforts in this direction I remember 
the Gray patent. Mr. Gray took a can body 
after seaming and placing it on an upright cylin- 
der in a press, by means of a die he turned the 
end of the body inwards to an angle of about 45 
degrees, a second operation laid this flat or at 
right angles with the main portion of the body, 



and a third operation pressed a crease, similar 
to the cap crease, into this flattened portion. 
These operations were repeated on the opposite 
end of the body. Then the bottom, shaped like 
a large cap, was soldered into the crease of one 
of the ends, completing the can. The hard usage 
to which the soldered side seam wap subjected by 
this method caused many of them to leak, and 
this style of can, though very promising at first, 
met with no favor. The necessity for an abso- 
lutely tight package, as well as a strong and 
cheap one, has proved the stumhling block to 
most of the machine-made cans. Gradually but 
surely, however, development and improvement 
have come, and to-day there are three distinct 
types of machine-made cans being put upon 
the market in large quantities that in the 
essential features named above surpass the 
floated or hand-made can, while there are 
still others more or less successful in these 
features.

CANNING REMINISCENCES. 



By H. N. S HEPARD, 

OF THE PHCENIX CANNING CO., WELLAND, ONT. 



^N the year 1857,Mr.E. A. Edgett, thenayoung 
I man, went to New York City and engaged to 
work one year for the firm of Kemp, Day & Co. 
in the canning business. Returning the next sea- 
son he startedasmall businessof his own located 
near the village of Camden, in Oneida Co., N. ^ . 
His was the first cauuing factory in the State 
outside of New York City. Mr. Kdgett's pack 
for several years consisted of sweet corn, wild 
blackberries, beef and poultry, all of the other 
many products which are now canned in such 
large quantities were then unknown in the 

market. 

Mr. Kdgett commenced cooking his cans in 
large deep pans set in brick arches and continued 
to use these for several years. He packed the 
product of two acres of sweet corn the first year 
and was obliged to take two trips to New York 
before hesucceededindisposingof thewhole of it. 

I commenced working at this business for Mr. 
Kdgett in 1861, the first work I did being to cap 
corn cans. The copper then in use for this pur- 



pose, was four square. We would run the solder 
round a dozen caps roughly, and then take a 
brad awl to hold the cap down, while smoothing 
it. This was a very slow method considering 
the conveniences of the present time. 

Canned corn at that time sold at $2.50 and 
$3 per dozen aud everything else at the same 
rate. This induced others to start in the busi- 
ness and soon after or about the year 1859, 
Ananias Edgett, brother of k. A. Edgett started 
a factory in the same town followed by Day 
Brothers and Wallace Nix. About the year 1865 
Wilburt Bowen of Syracuse, N. Y., started a 
factory in that city, followed by Merrelle & Soule 
of the same place, after which canning factories 
sprung up almost like mushrooms; no village of 
any pretentions being without one or more, and 
some offering considerable sums of money as 
inducements to parties thinking of going into the 

business. 

My first experience in making cans was by 
using a screw press operated by hands. To cut

» the tin into bottoms and tops, we were obliged 
to change the dies three times in order to get 
them ready for use. The first die would cut a 
flat blank; and we would generally cut up several 
boxes of tin into these blanks; then change it for 
a die that would turn up a flange. They were 
then ready for use as bottoms. Then as only 
half were needed as bottoms we were obliged to 
change the die again for one which would punch 
the tops. 

In this way we were obliged to pick up each 
blank with the left hand, put it in the die and 
with the right hand pull the sweep around with 
force enough to make the impressions all perfect. 
It was a slow and tiresome way of cutting tin — 
compared with present conveniences. Caps were 
cut by laying the tin on the die and striking it 
with a mallet. The vents were afterwards made 
with a brad awl and hammer. 

The old former was a "belly puncher." Instead 
of a treadle to raise the knife that holds the 
bodies, we had a large handle running out from 
the knife; we had to raise that up with the left 
hand and then hold it up with one side, then slip 
on the body, get it in position, press the knife 
down with one side then grasp the handle with 
the left hand and hold it, while with the right 
the solder and rosin were put on and seam made. 
We had to bend down to raise the knife with one 
side in order to have our two hands to pall off 
the body. 

Fifty cans was a j ob for the bench. After finish- 
ing floating the cans had to be placed on the 



bench seam up and with a pointed copper we had 
to (what we called) "button" them; that was to 
melt a drop of solder on each cut off. 

We used. charcoal entirely for heating coppers, 
that has given place to the neat yet powerful, 
kerosene, gas and gasoline burners of the present 
time. 

Our solder molds used to be a cast-iron some- 
thing; similar to a washboard in looks with only 
one part and we were obliged to be very careful 
when running the solder or part of the sticks 
would be large and a part small. We cut our 
drops with a tinner's shears, gauging the size 
with our eye; five pounds being allowed to every 
one hundred two pound cans. 

During the civil war when we were obliged to 
pay such exorbitant prices for everything, I 
helped to make cans out of tin which cost twenty- 
four dollars per box. We used nothing but the 
best charcoal tin at that time in the manufacture 
of our cans. 

Canned fruit brought a high price in market, 
peaches, pears, plums, cherries, quinces, etc., 
selling at $4.50 per dozen in 2% pound cans and 
everything else in proportion. 

Our labels then were printed by our village 
printer, on white paper with perhaps a border 
with just "sweet corn packed by, etc." It only 
reached half way around the can. 

The packing boxes were mostly of spruce or 
basswood and cost .f 15 to f 18 per hundred. 

The corn was taken in by counting the ears in 
a load. A bushel of ears were then husked and

couated. The price was forty cents per bushel of 
husked ears. 

As will be seen by this sketch very little labor 
saving machinery was known to the business. 

The cooking or "processing" was all done in 
pans set in brick arches. These gave place to the 
steam boiler and "open" or "water bath," and 
these in turn to the iron retorts of the present 



time. The various operations were all done "by 
hand," as cutting corn, shelling peas, capping, 
filling, etc. The quality however of the goods 
were fully equal we think to the best goods packed 
now. The cost was very high owing to the cost 
of material and supplies, but the price that they 
brought left a larger margin of profit than we have 
been able to see the past few years in the business.

SUBJECT OF ILLUSTRATION. 



^HOMAS L. BUNTING whose portrait we 
give herewith, is a representative canner, 
well-known to the trade. He is manager 
of the Hamburg Canning Company, of Hamburg, 
Erie County, New York, packers of the celebrated 
Hamburg canned goods. Mr. Bunting is presi- 
dent of the New York Packers' Association; 
State president of the National Packers' Associ- 
ation; president of the Hamburg Water and 
Electric Light Company, and of its Investment 
and Improvement Company; vice-president of 
the Bank of Hamburg, and is one of the C ity 
and County Hall Commissioners. 

In November last he was elected to Congress 
from the thirty-third N. Y. district. He is also 
interested in farming, owning a large farm just 
east of the village of Hamburg, which is devoted 
to dairying and stock-raising. He is a member 
of the Erie County Farmers' Institute, and has 



read frequent papers before that body bearing 
upon subjects of interest to farmers. He was 
deputized to voice the views of that society on 
the subject of bogus butter before the Commit- 
tee on Agriculture at Washing-ton. He has also 
given much study to the canning interests, and 
drafted the existing law which aims to weed out 
certain fatal abuses in the industry. On invita- 
tion of the different packing associations of the 
country, he delivered an address on *' Organiza- 
tion of Packers," at Indianapolis, last February, 
and as a result, the National Canning Associa- 
tion was formed. Mr. Bunting made an argu- 
ment before that body at Baltimore a few 
months ago since on the subject of "Tariff and 
Tin Plate," and headed the delegation to Wash- 
ington to argue before the Ways and Means 
Committee against the increased duty on tin 
plate.

EDITORS COLUMN. 

To our friends, the canners and evaporators 
of North America, we make a bow. Having had 
some considerable experience in the canning and 
evaporating business, we understand something 
of their needs. " It is not all gold that glitters" 
even in this part of the business world. Experi- 
ence is a fine thing; and a man who engages in 
either one of these lines of business cannot have 
too much, if it isthe right kind. I know several, 
however, who think they have a surplus, and 
would like to trade it off cheap for cash. They 
are not exactly free traders, but they believe in 
reducing the surplus. By cautiously investigat- 
ing the cases, I have found that their surplus 



believe in the homeopathic theory, " similia sim- 
ilibus curantur." There is nothing here to cause 
uneasiness, however. Such men are found in all 
lines of business; they tumble headlong into 
business and when it fails to pan out as they ex- 
pected, they are just as anxious to tumble out 
—sort of a "rolling stone" that Solomon, or 
somebody, says "gathers no moss." 

It is not our purpose to furnish an exhaustive 
treatise on the art of canning or evaporating; 
we are not competent for that, if we were inclined 
—which we are not: You may find some sugges- 
tions here, however, that you may be able to 
modify and make of service. 

The object of this work is to bring to your 
notice and attention the new and old labor-sav- 
ing machines that have been brought out and 
that are constantly being devised, to facilitate 
the business and lessen the cost of manufacture. 
Also to introduce to you those who deal in can- 
ners' and evaporators' supplies of all kinds from 
a paring knife to a steam engine, and to furnish 
the addresses of responsible dealers in the large 
cities. 

All the machinery advertised in these columns 
havebeen thoroughly tested. We are personally 
acquainted with most of the manufacturers and 
their machines. The particular attention of 
canners is called to the oil system of heating 
coppers, which has been in use now three seasons, 
with universal satisfaction. You can find

WHOLESALE GROCERS OF THE U. S. 

Through the wholesale grocers the great bulk 
of canned and evaporated goods find their way 
to the retail trade. To meet the requirements of 
the trade we prepared a year ago a complete 
list of all the wholesale grocers of the United 
States. This is now being revised and reprinted 
to bring it down to March 1, 1891. It is a book 
of about 175 pages; contains the address of 2,- 
500 wholesale grocers with street number in the 
cities. It also gives the large dealers in these 
lines of goods in the smaller places, say 5,000 to 
10,000 population, distinctly separate from the 
others. It gives the population of all the places; 
it gives the banks in each place, and to meet 
the general demand, we give a few leading gen- 
eral merchandise brokers and commission men 
in the cities and larger places. 

This book will be out of the press about the last 
of April. Price, f 5. 

We will send a copy to any responsible house, 
payment to be made promptly on receipt of 
same. Address this office.

HANGING PULLEYS. 

The following rules will be found invaluable in 
ascertaining the speed and sizes of pulleys. 

To find the size of driving pulley, multiply the 
diameter of the driven by the number of revolu- 
tions it should make and divide the product by 
the number of revolutions of the driver. 

To find the diameter of driven, multiply the 
diameter of the driver by its number of revolu- 
tions and divide the product by the number of 
revolutions of the driven. 

To find the number of revolutions of the driven, 
multiply the diameter of the driver by its num- 
ber of revolutions and divide by the diameter of 
the driven. 

To find the horse power of a pulley, multiply 
the circumference of the pulley by the speed and 
the product thus obtained by the width of the 
belt and divide the result by 600; the quotient 
will be the horse power. 



To ascertain transmitting power of belting, 
multiply the diameter of driving pulley in inches 
by its number of revolutions per minute and this 
product by width of belt in inches; divide this 
product by 3300 for single leather, four-ply rub- 
ber or four-ply cotton belting — or by 2100 for 
double leather, six-ply rubber or six-ply cotton 
belting, and the quotient will be the number of 
horse power that can be safely transmitted.

SAWFISH' CYPHER CODE. 



Compiled by ELLIOT D. FISHER. 



Adapted to the use of Canners, Evaporators, Dealers in Fruit and Produce, Commission 

Men and Merchandise Brokers. 



HIS cypher code has been prepared with a 
great deal of care with this object in view: 
To furnish an elaborate and complete cy- 
pher covering everything, so far as was pos- 
sible, coming in the range of business tran- 
sactions, and to do this in a concise and 
practical way. Nothing is omitted that is 
covered by other codes now in use, or that 
was felt necessary to make this complete. Much 
is added that we have found others were deficient 
in. The whole is arranged in a simple and 
natural manner. 

By the use of the affix, great elasticity is also 
given to the work. In using, the affix is added 
to the end of the cypher word. To illustrate its 
use, the cypher word, "complot," means, "cases 
of 2 lb. white cherries in extra heavy syrup." 
By adding the affix, "ox," making the word, 



"complotox," it means, "cases of 3 lb. white 
cherries in extra heavy syrup." Full instructions 
are given at the section where the affix is used. 

In this book — Everything For Canners— the 
part of the code bearing on green fruits, general 
produce, nuts, etc., are not given. This will not 
affect the usefulness of the code to those not 
handling those lines of goods. 

Complete copies of the "Sawfish" cypher code, 
bound in cloth, will be furnished for $2 per copy. 
Address this office. Every canner and fruit 
evaporator in North America, also all of the 
firms whose advertisement appears in this work 
have copies of the code. The address of other 
parties using it, will be sent to any address for 
a two-cent stamp. 

We advise you in having new stationery printed 
to state, " We use Sawfish Cypher Code."

too much in its praise. I recommend it to all Canners ol Green Corn as 
the machine to buy.

CONSTRUCTION OF COOKER. 

The main body of the machine is made of steel boiler iron, with ca«.t 
iron bottom and lid. The inside kettle is made of heavy copper, with one 
inch of space between the outside jacket and inside of kettle. The lid is 
hinged, and running dcwn through the lid are two perpendicular stirring 
shafts with arms. The shafts are revolved by means of gear wheels on the 
lid. Running across the bottom of the machine is a shaft with screw or 
conveyor blades attached. This conveyor runs out to the end of the noz- 
zle or spout of the machine and forces the corn out through the two open- 
ings alternately. 

CONSTRUCTION OF CAN FILLER. 

The can filler consists of bed plate, the upper side of which is divided by 
three partitions, about five inches high, running lengthwise, into two alley- 
ways or slips for cans to slide in, one row of cans passing under each of 
the two openings in the nozzle of the cooker. There is a sliding plate 
worked back and forth, in guides, that closes first one of the openings in 
the nozzle and then the other one, just as the cans are filled This causes 
one can to be constantly filling. By means of a device (a pair of revolving 
valves) hot syrup or brine, in any desired quantity, is put into the second 
can back of the can being filled with corn The lever that is connected to 
the slide that cuts off the corn at the nozzle, is also attached to the syrup 
valves, and works both syrup device and cut-off slide at one stroke. 

COOKING 

The corn as it comes from the silker is fed or spouted into the top of the 
cooker through a small hopper. The outside space in the jacket is filled 
with live steam and heats up the main body of the corn. The stirring arms 
being hollow admit steam through small openings into the corn direct 

ADVANTAGES. 

< ne man and two boys can operate my machine and do more work than 

two men and four boys can accomplish with other machines on the 

market, and do it better. The man works the lever and regulates 

the speed and heat. One boy puts empty cans into the machine 

and the other boy takes away the filled cans and puts them into 

trays. By means of the sliding cut-off, as soon as a can is full, 

the stream of corn is cut off entirely and opened directly into 

the can on the other side, already in place, and thus no corn is 

spilled on top of the cans as is the case where the corn is allowed 

to run through one nozzle and spill while the can is being changed

This machine is made on an entirely new principle, has been 
thoroughly tested and proven to be far superior to anything ever 
offered for separating the silks and pieces of cob from out corn 
with rapidity and economy. 

The sieves revolve in opposite directions and are set on an 
incline to allow the silks, husks and cobs to work out at the lower 
end. It takes very little power and although it occupies only 
3x6 feet floor space it has unlimited capacity, having four times 
the sieve surface that any other silker has, occupying the same 
floor space. The ma- 
chine requires no attend- 
ant, it being arranged 
with a receptacle at the

HIS machine does its work accurately, putting 
into each can just the quantity of syrup it is set to 
till ; requires only a boy to feed the cans into the 
spout, the machine moves them forward automati- 
cally to and from the sryuper. 

In construction it is strong and durable, and 
is especially adapted for syruping Corn, Peas and 
Beans. Is easily adjusted to fill (as may be de- 
sired) from one to eight ounces of syrup into each 
can. 

These machines are in use with most of the 
packers in New York state, as also with a great 
many packers in the west, and receive the un- 
qualified endorsement of those who have used 
them.

The only green corn cooker made carrying steam through the entire center of the mass by means of hollow shaft and hollow flights at- 
tached to same, thus giving the corn an even and quick cooking, reducing the juices of the corn to cream, retaining all the natural whiteness 
and delicacy of flavor. Our patent feeder gives a positive and regular feed of corn into the cooker, and we obtain an even amount of corn 
passing from the tiller into the cans. The operator can sit close to the machine and handle the cans with perfect safety ami no danger what- 
ever of being scalded by steam and corn blowing out upon him. These machines were adopted this last season by some of the largest corn 
packers in the United States, among them the Louis McMurray Pkg. Co., of Frederick City, Md., who packed all their corn for the season of 
1890 with our cookers, syrupers and process. Our machinery enables the packer to produce a superior quality of corn, and the best canners 
of the United States are adopting them. For prices, terms or any information, write us.

SEAMING MACHINE 



SEAMS 1,200 CAN BODIES PER rfoUR. 

And requires a young man to lend it. It "makes a lap seam of re- 
markable uniformity " and they are " marvels of 
strength and beauty." 




Mr. J. Lewden Robeson says, " I am free to say that from the 
standpoint of a master machinist, I consider it a machine of great 
merit, and as an invention in the can making industry, it is one- 
much needed. It is carefully and thoroughly constructed, and 
properly handled, is not likely to get out of order. 

West Jersey Packing Co., John W. Stout, by W. I.. Morris, Mgr., 
J. F. Brady & Co., Geo.D. I.aning and Benj. S. Avers, all of Bridge- 
ton, N. J., say they "have no doubt the seams are as safe and strong 
as any seam can be made by hand, and as reliable as any seam can 
be." 

The Albert Fischer Mfg. Co., Hamilton, Ohio, say, "In regard to 
your Seamer will say that we think it is the best machine in exist- 
ence, and do not sse how anyone making cans can do without it. 
As far as the practical working of the same is concerned, will say 
that it is perfect. The seams are all perfectly soaked and we con- 
sider them the strongest that can be made, requiring less solder on 
every 1,000 seams that we ever used before, either in making them 
by hand or machine. In fact we think the machine is entitled to 
all the praise anybody can give it." 



1). Cummins, Conneaut, Ohio, says, under date of Aug. 30, 1890, 
"The Seaming machine we have had in almost constant use since 
lanuary 1, up to date, making all our cans upon it. We have had 
no trouble to successfully operate the machine. We consider the 
Seamer quite an improvement over our former way; that it has 
sa ed us some money in labor and solder besides doing satisfactory 
work." 

(has G. Summers .V Co., Baltimore, say, " It is belted to run 20 
cans per minute or 1 200 per hour and will turn out that quantity 
unless the operator neglects his work, for we have found almost no 
stoppages necessary from other causes. One hand operates it and 
is all that is required. * * * The machine makes very strong 
seams and as we have been packing the cans as fast as made we do 
not sav this from eye inspection simply, but from actual process 
tests. One and one-fourth to one and one-half cents per 100 seams 
will cover all the cost of tending the machine and the bodies made 
on it are so uniform in size as to reduce somewhat the cost of head- 
ing and floating on account of it."

^ MACHINE 



This machine has but recently been completed and is now offered for sale in connection with our Seamer. 
It will take the can bodies as fast as delivered by the Seamer and after fluxing the ends of the body will 
put on both heads and deliver the cans ready for floating. The can body requires no handling trom the 
time it enters the Seamer until it is ready for the floater, and for attendance the machine requires a boy 
only, whose duty is to lay the heads upon the aprons, one of which is shown in the cut, and in a general 
way to see that everything goes on correctly. The cost of heading cans by this machine is simply the 
wages of a boy, say a half to three-quarters of a cent per hundred cans, and the product should be in ex- 
cess of 1000 cans per hour. Using our Seamers and heading machines the entire cosst for labor for seam, 
jng and heading cans and delivering them ready for floating should never exceed two and one-quarter 
cents per hundred, and should not under ordinary conditions exceed tivo cents per hundred. Our ma- 
chines require only the exercise of fair intelligence in operating them. They are never absent at a criti- 
cal time, and never join in strikes or take advantage of your necessities.

Apple Parers ! 



IT IS POOR ECONOMY TO BUY SUCH AN ARTICLE AS AN APPLE PARER BECAUSE IT IS CHEAP IN PRICE, BUT THE 

BONANZA PARER AND CORER 




HaB this advantage over all others, it is not only 
sold at an exceptionally low price ( lower than any 
other machine ever made that will do the same 
work), but possesses all the features that go to 
make up a 

-COMPLETE SUCCESS !— 

The Bonanza runs very easy; is very fast; does per- 
fect work on large or small apples, and is durable. 

PRICE ONLY $6.50. 

For paring, coring and slicing, we have the "Dandy" 
for hand use, and the "Eureka" for power. We 
believe no one can afford to run Apple Parers by 
hand when power is available. 

The Eureka is the only Power Apple Parer. It 
is a perfect success as a power parer ; it is also 
without a rival for hand use. 

We make more apple parers than all others 
combined. We make a large variety of smaller 
machines for family and factory, at prices ranging 
from $4.00 per dozen up. 

We believe we can safely say we can fur- 
nish parers that will do more work, better work, 
faster work, and at better prices, than anyone else 
in the world.

Gents : The Capping Machine we bought of you in 1889, and 
improved in 1890, has done our work well. In fact we do not 
see how we could have got through the season without it. We 
know it will do all you claim for it. The Gas Machine is also a 
great success and gives us plenty of light and heat.

The Platform Conveyor. 



Patented Aug. 12, 1890. 




This member of ouv Automatic Canning System was in operation 
last season in eight canning factories, giving in each case complete 
satisfaction. 

It takes scalded tomatoes from the Power Steam Scalder, distrib- 
utes them to one hundred or more parers, and leturns the empty 
buckets to the Scalder. 

It collects the pared tomatoes, from one hundred or more parers, in 
numbered buckets, conveying them to the tilling machine, and re- 
turns the empty buckets. 

It collects all the skins, water and other refuse from each paring bin, 
and removes the satre to a single dump at any point of the apparatus 



desired, from which it is taken out of the building by an ordinary chain 
conveyor, all without " slopping " the floor and without manual labor. 

At " quitting time " it brings water in buckets to ea -h parer for 
washing the bins and vessels used, and finally it washes itself, and 
is clean and bright for the next day. 

The PLATFORM CONVEYOR lias no favorites, treats all alike, is 
prompt and impartial, does not go on a strike, is always on duty, and 
asks only for two bushels of coal daily for its pay. 

It saves much room; it saves labor; it saves time; it keeps the 
floor clean; it keeps the entire factory in good order. Send for de- 
scription, testimonials and prices of all our machinery.

THE 



"BOYNTON" 

EQUAL TO THE WILSON FOR SHIPPLNG 

AND CANNING. 



We have proof that two well known persons, who send out catalogues every spring have engaged 
quite a quantit} 7 of the BOYNTON to grow the coming season, expecting lo offer them first in their next 
season's catalogue, with a great flourish of trumpets, at high rates. So our friends will see we have the 
start of them one year, and thus give all a chance to get a start in this gieat market berry this spring at 
$1.00 per dozen, $3.00 per hundred, by mail or express. 

David Ledzy, of Albany County, N. Y., writes us as follows : 

"I have °rown the Boyuton Strawberry for two vears. It is without exception the best berry I have ever raised, and I have been in the busi- 
ness for fifteen years, and have tried all kinds. It Is as early as the Crescent; holds out larger and longer, and outsells all others in the nnarket. 
I o-ot from 2 to 4 cents more for it than for othei kinds. It is good on sand or clay, and is displacing the Crescent around here. It is a sight worth 
looking at with its load of fruit. I cannot say too much for it. "Any man that sets it out will not regret it." 

For further particulars see our descriptive and wholesale catalogues, sent free to all applicants, and 
also for a full line of fruit trees and berry plants with prices retail and wholesale.

IT IS A WELL-KNOWN 

FACT 

And generally acknowledged, that Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio, and West Virginia consume 
more Canned Goods in proportion to the population than any other section of America. This is because 
of the large Iron and Glass Manufacturing Establishments and the Mining Industries, employing thous- 
ands of workmen, who necessarily must live well in order to work well. Pittsburgh is the center of 
this great and valuable section, and it naturally follows that Pittsburgh contains many large Wholesale 
Grocery Houses, through whom nearly all of the Canned Goods are sold in the section embraced in 
Western Pennsylvania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia. To manufactui ers and packers of Canned 
Goods all over the United States and Canada, we can heartily recommend corresponding with

PITTSBURGH, PA. 

Mr. Edward Davis has had many years' experience selling the Wholesale Grocery Trade, and since 
1886 has established a large and growing Brokerage business. He is giving special attention to Canned 
Goods and is in direct correspondence with all of the responsible Wholesale Trade in Western Pennsyl- 
vania, Eastern Ohio and West Virginia. Both packers and jobbers can rely on condition of markets 
as represented by him and many prominent packers have been well satisfied with results obtained 
through service rendered by the above named.

MANUFACTURED BY THE BUCKLIN CAN FILLER CO,, KEYPORT, N. J. 

WILL REDUCE ANY FRUIT OR VEGETABLE TO A FINE PULP. 

WILL EXTRACT ALL OF THE PULP FROM TOMATO PEEL- 
INGS, AND IN PACKING PUMPKIN DOES ALL THE WORK 
OF PEELING AND SIFTING ABSOLUTELY WITHOUT WASTE. 

These machines are fully guaranteed to work 
satisfactorily and will be sent to any responsible 
party with privilege of returning at our expense 
if after five days' trial it fails to do what we claim 
for it. The testimony of dealers in canned goods 
is that pumpkin prepared hy this machine is 
superior to that packed by any other process, 
and although we only claim a capacity of fifty 
tons of pumpkin in ten hours, we believe the 
machine capable of doing double that quantity. 

We also furnish to purchasers of this machine 
our exact process for packing pumpkin. 

Send your order early to avoid the annoy- 
ance and loss liable to come from delay. 

We shall introduce this season as a compan- 
ion to the Cyclone, a machine for tilling cans 
with pumpkin, which will have a capacity of abou', 3,000 cans an hour. We will send this machine 
out with the same guarantee, viz.. on rive days' trial with privilege of returning at our expense if it fails 
to give entire satisfaction.

terday and the one by freight came in this morning We have tried 
them enough to make us think you ought to find a new name for it 
for we think the word, Cyclone, hardly expresses the smartness of 
the machine. A cyclone might knock some things worse than the 
machine, but it certainly could not knock out all the good there is 
in pumpkins or tomato peelings as fast and as well as the machine. 

Yours Truly, J. P. Polk 



CAN FILLER, 



This is theonly Can Filling Machine which will fill cans with toma- 
toes equal to careful hand-packing. It requires less power than 
any other machine, and consequently there is less mutila- 
tion of fruit, and when the cans are cut open the 
tomatoes will be found nearly whole. 



Atlantic, Iowa, Oct. 3, 1890. 
Gents: Enclosed please find New York draft calling for one hun- 
dred and fifty dollars, amount in full for invoice, Sept. 13, 1890, for 
which please receipt. We take pleasure in remitting for your Cy- 
clone Pumpkin machine after a very successful and thorough test of 
time allowed us, and we are willing to concede the point that it is a 
veritable cyclone on a pumpkin pile, doing its wO'k in a perfect and 
satisfactory manner. 

Yours Truly, Atlantic Canning Co , 

By S. V. Martin. 

Springville, N. V., March 22, 1890. 
Gentlemen.: We have used several (an hillers during the past 
ten years, but consider your Fillers far superior to them all. We 
believe it to be the best filler in the world. 

Yours truly, Western New York Pres. Co. 

New Hartford, N. Y , Oct. 7, 1890. 

Dear Sirs : Enclosed please find check for one hundred and 

fifty dollars to pay for Cyclone Pulp Machine We take pleasure in 

paying this bill, for the machine has already paid for itself and we 

have run it less than a week. Yours Very Truly,

GAPPING 

MACH INE 




This machine is made in two sizes, called 

THE COMBINATION MACHINE AN!) 
CAPPER NO. 3. 

The Combination Machine caps 12 2-lb. or 
3-lb. cans at each operation. Its capacity is 
15,000 to 18,000 per day. 

CAPPER NO. 3. 

Caps 16 2-lb. cans at each operation and has 
a capacity of 20,000 to 25,000 cans per day. 
This machine is especially adapted for capping 
corn, peas, oysters, etc. B »th machines have 
been greatly improved for the coming season. 

We make a specialty of hand capping 
steels and guarantee lo furnish a satisfactory 
article at the ver}' lowest market price. 



GREEN CORN PACKING MACHINERY 



MANUFACTURED AND SOLD BY THE 



BARKER MANUFACTURING CO 

OLDEST AND LARGEST MANUFACTURERS OF CANNING HOUSE MACHINERY 

IN THE UNITED STATES. 



HAND CORN CUTTER. 



CAPACITY 3.O00 CANS PER DAY. 




This machine does not mash the corn nor cut up the cob 
and mix it with the pulp so that it cannot be separated, as all 
other automatic cutters do. The knives can be eaujred to cut 
any required depth of kernel without mashing or jambing the 
same, the remaining corn being removed by a series of scrapers. 

THE POWER CUTTER 

The Power cutter is essentially the same asthe hand cutter but does the work much better and quicker 
The same arrangement of knives and scrapers is used as on the hand cutter, only made a little heavier. 
We do not hesitate in saying that the quality of corn cut with this machine cannot be equalled by any 

other corn cutter in existence. The corn is freer from small particles 
of cob, is less mashed, and the cob is entirely cleaned. 

We publish below a sample of the hundreds of testimonials we have 
leceived from packers using our machinery. 1 he rirm of Burnham & 
Morrill have used the Barker Cutters exclusively since 1876, and in 
their numerous factories ovvn 60 hand cutters, 19 power cutters, 15 can 
washers and 8 can tillers. 




THE POWER CUTTER. 



CAPACITY 10,000 CANS PER DAY. 



The Barker Manufacturing Co., Portland, Me. 

Gentlemen :— We have useil your Power Cutters, and think they are superior to anything we 
have ever seen for cutting green corn from the cob. One power cutter will do the work of four 
hand cutters, and in a better manner. We are very much pleased with them. 

Yours Respectfully, Burnham & Mo r kill. 



UK Horn Silking A^chine 




Patented June 18, 1889 

For removing silk and small pieces of cob and for cleaning the corn thoroughly whether whole, 
cut or scraped, is made of iron strongly built and braced throughout. All parts likely to come 
in contact with corn are covered with galvanized iron. All silk is removed from the corn before 
it goes to the sieve, thus preventing its clogging and this is the point on which we claim superior- 
ity over all others. 

This machine will pay for itself in one season as it increases the value of the corn by being so 
thoroughly cleaned. 

OUR CAN FILLER 



Can't be beat ; ^ it is the most perfect working machine 

made, filling and weighing accurately from 75 to 100 cans 

per minute. Its action is entirely automatic requiring but 

one person to shovel the corn into the hopper, and a boy to 

place the cans in a spout overhead, when they will drop down, place themselves under the nozzle and 

be pushed out upon the table, weighed and filled. 

Attached to the Filler, is a self-acting pump which may be regulated so as to put any quantity of water 
into the cans before they are filled. 

We are going to put upon the market this coming season a combination Can Filler that will fill toma- 
toes, squash, pumpkins, in fact anything that is packed in three lb. cans as well as corn. 

OUR CAN WASHER 

Is instantaneous in its action washing and drying a can in a 
fraction of a second leaving the entire top, including the groove 
entirely dry. It can be utilized in packing anything that is 
put up in circular stud-top cans. It requires no particular skill 
and a person after five minutes' practice can clean from forty to 
sixty cans per minute. 

We manufacture and can supply packers with fire pots, bath 
room fire pots, engines, boilers, shafting, pulley hangers, belting, 
in fact everything needed in a first class canning house. 

We are also agents for one of the largest printing houses in 
the United States and can furnish labels of all kinds at reduced 
rates 

Parties contemplating enlarging their factories or putting in 
new machinery, or wish to acquaint themselves with the most 
CAN WASHER approved methods of packing corn, will find it to their advan- 

oapaoity 20,000 cans D A,Ly, ta g e to correspond with us.

HE price of the JONES 5 ton $60 Wagon Scales has never 
changed since 1879, when the price of iron advanced so 
rapidly. Scales have come and Scales have gone. We have seen 
very high priced Scales sold on account of the name, and very 
low priced Scales because of the price. All makers unite in con- 
demning the [ONES Scale because it is a first-class Scale, fully 
warranted, and sold at a fair price. The big bugs dislike it because 
it has decreased their robbing profits; and the little bugs, the 2 
ton $40 and 3 ton $35, fellows hate us because customers take 
our well-known and reliable 5 ton Scale at $60, in preference to 
wooden or gas pipe levers at low prices.
